===Thermal conductivity===
The theoretical thermal conductivity of hexagonal boron nitride nanoribbons (BNNRs) can approach 1700–2000&nbsp;[[watt|W]]/([[metre|m]]⋅[[kelvin|K]]), which has the same order of magnitude as the experimental measured value for [[graphene]], and can be comparable to the theoretical calculations for graphene nanoribbons.<ref>{{cite journal | author = Lan, J.

The thermal conductivity of zigzag-edged BNNRs is about 20% larger than that of armchair-edged nanoribbons at room temperature.<ref>{{cite journal | title = Thermal Transport in Hexagonal Boron Nitride Nanoribbons | doi = 10.1088/0957-4484/21/24/245701 | pmid = 20484794 | journal = Nanotechnology | volume = 21 | issue = 24 | year = 2010 | page = 245701 |bibcode = 2010Nanot..21x5701O | last1 = Ouyang | first1 = Tao | last2 = Chen | first2 = Yuanping | last3 = Xie | first3 = Yuee | last4 = Yang | first4 = Kaike | last5 = Bao | first5 = Zhigang | last6 = Zhong | first6 = Jianxin | s2cid = 12898097}}</ref>
